"Sometimes I think we're like sheep in a pen, with no way out... But even if we wanted to take a step forward, we'd retreat out of fear, and the fate that awaits us wouldn't be good."
Sean looked at his mother.
Now he somewhat understood why the other party died suddenly in his fifties. People who peek into too many secrets of the abyss will probably not have a good ending.
"So you want to understand the nature of wizards?" Sean said.
"You should tell the truth."
"Then why did you come to this country?"
"I can't find anything about the Cain Witch, but I've heard a lot of related information."
Although Ayla tried her best to conceal her identity, it was unnecessary for Sean... As the largest country in the desert, twenty years ago, the queen of the country that should have been the fastest-growing country certainly received a lot of information, and she probably knew even the private affairs of the emperor of this country.
Sean didn't believe that a big country like Jagun would not bribe local officials, so it would be normal even if it sent spies.
Then Ayla took out a slate in front of Sean...
Of course Sean had seen this slate in another way.
Cain Slate.
And it was a real piece, but the fracture was different from the one Frelia had given her.
But it feels a little smaller than that one...
"This is the Kain Slate. Half of the pattern on it is unclear. I received news that someone had seen the same pattern in the palace of Kserk, so I wanted to come and take a look!" This was the purpose of Aila coming here.
"The Imperial Palace of Kserk? How do you get into that place?"
As soon as Sean said it, he felt it was unnecessary. Since she could be a guest of honor in this small town, she could of course enter the palace. No matter whether she was a witch or she was visiting the emperor of this country on behalf of Jagun, she could enter for any reason.
Not to mention directly revealing her identity as the Queen or contacting a few bribed thugs here to get someone to pave the way for her...
"So that's what you came here for?"
Sean looked at the slate. The writing on it was different from the slates he had handled before. It was a different kind of writing, but it looked very much like hieroglyphics. He couldn't read it, let alone understand it.
But the picture can be seen partly...
The stone slab that he had held before was a big eyeball, and with the tentacles it looked very much like Ghroth. However, the tentacles of this one grew on the top of its head, and it seemed to have no body, or the body was like a tripod. The three animal tentacles were used to support the position above the head, but they were broken and could not be seen.
"Well, I'm going to the palace in Kserk."
At this time, Sean also remembered the note that Occam had written to him before. He had not taken it out to read it because of the battle last night. Now he took it out and unfolded it, and it said: Royal Library.
"I asked about the Royal Library, which is probably in the capital."
Ayla nodded.
"I've heard of that place. It seems to be the place established by the first generation of omniscient beings."
The Omniscient is the title of the Supreme Alchemist, and the library was established by the strongest alchemist of the first generation... Occam only wrote these few words, without any details.
How can I find everything on my own in such a huge library?!
I'm afraid there's no chance to ask again now. I don't even know whether those people are alive or dead.
"Where are you going?"
"Um."
Sean did not forget his mission: to find Nyarlathotep.
After all, he was a person from twenty years in the future. No matter what he did now, he couldn't change the predetermined outcome. The only thing he could do was to follow Yug's goal, find his troublemaking ancient god, and end his own cycle of destruction...
What Occam left behind was research material on the manuscript of the legendary Abdullah. No matter what was in it, there must be something different in the Necronomicon, which was regarded as a holy book by later generations. If possible, Sean hoped to find it.
Since I won't die in the future and can avoid death with the help of Yog-Sothoth's power, I should be able to touch anything.
"I'll go with you!"
"Huh?" Ayla looked over [surprised!].
"Are you sure? I will use my identity as the leader of the Sun Crown to visit Emperor Kserk. Although I don't want anything unpleasant to happen, this generation's Omniscient Lord Meredith is said to be a Level 20 Orderer. In comparison, the truth he sees may be more comprehensive than ours. I'm worried that he will fight with me after knowing my purpose. It will be very dangerous for you to bring your little apprentice with you at that time." Aila kindly reminded him.
"I dare not say anything else, but it's okay with her. She is the most promising person I have ever met, and she will become a great witch in the future...no accidents will happen here."
Knowing the future outcome is sometimes convenient.
It's as if the body has an immortal aura...
I'm afraid that if I jump off a cliff now, I won't die. Either I will be rescued by someone, or there will be water under the cliff.
Anyway, my end will come in more than 20 years. As long as I can get rid of the influence of Nyarlathotep, I can live longer, so I am not afraid of anything.
"So, have you decided?"
"Um."
The two men announced their alliance on the morning of the second day after the fire in Kimo River Town, and the matter of the blacksmith shop was never told to anyone. Neither the mayor nor Rorschach and his friends blamed Occam and his accomplices, and it was not certain whether the bodies found in the subsequent search were theirs.
The state alchemists were forced to stay here to help, and although Sean and Ayla were not from this country and had no obligation to do the rescue work, since they were going to the imperial capital to meet the emperor later, doing something here would help improve their reputation among the court officials. Moreover, if Sean left now, Rorschach and Rachel would probably beg to stay.
Because only if I am there can it prove that the opponent is very strong. Otherwise, both of them will be judged as dereliction of duty, and I don’t know what kind of punishment they will receive.
For seven consecutive days, Sean was trapped in the small town...
As a result, the turning point happened seven days later. When Rorschach and Rochel felt that their careers might be hopeless due to their dereliction of duty and letting the fugitive escape, Kodor sent someone to deliver a letter.
Because Sean had become someone who could help the two of them talk, he shared all this information with himself...
Kodal said in the letter.
Ockham died in the fire. Although he did not receive the judgment he deserved, he did die in the flames...
It can also be considered as atonement for one's mistakes!
"What does the mentor mean by sending this letter?" Rorschach asked Sean.
"It probably means you should do as the letter says!"
